Arman Tsarukyan has booked his return to the UFC as co-main event against Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 331 in September…
But he’s already lined up his next move outside the octagon too, with a title fight set for RAF 14 on October 3rd in Las Vegas.
As Tsarukyan will face Dillon Danis to determine the inaugural crossover middleweight champion!
The matchup comes after Tsarukyan’s undefeated start to his RAF career came to an end with a close loss to Colby Covington back in July, putting him right back in title contention as he looks to bounce back against Danis.
Danis, meanwhile, enters the fight winless in RAF at 0-2, having dropped his debut to Covington before losing to former UFC middleweight champion Khamzat Chimaev in a match that descended into chaos, with a brawl breaking out on stage that required security to step in.
Now searching for his first RAF win, Danis gets a shot at an upset with a title on the line.
The fight comes just over a month after he’s scheduled to face Mike Perry in an MMA bout in Florida.
